Solving Equations by Dividing 2) 9x= -135 Solve for x. 0 -144 O 126 O 15 0 -15

Question 1

Question 2

X = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
9x = -135
Divide by 9 on both sides
X = -15
It is -15 since 135 is negative

Question 3

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\huge\boxed{\mathsf{9x = -135}}$

$\huge\boxed{\text{DIVIDE 9 to BOTH SIDES}}$

$\huge\boxed{\mathsf{(9x)/(9)= (-135)/(9)}}$

$\huge\boxed{\mathsf{\bullet \ CANCEL: (9)/(9)\ because\ it \ gives\ you\ 1}}$

$\huge\boxed{\bullet\ \mathsf{KEEP: (-135)/(9)\ because\ it\ helps\ solve \ for}}\\\huge\boxed{\mathsf{the\ x-value}}$

$\huge\boxed{\mathsf{x = (-135)/(9)}}\\\\\huge\boxed{\mathsf{(-135)/(9)= x}}}$

$\huge\boxed{Simplify \ it\uparrow}$

$\huge\boxed{\mathsf{x = \bf -15}}$

$\huge\boxed{\textsf{Therefore, your answer is: Option D. -15 }}\huge\checkmark$
